Othello's Presentation Of Desdemona

Towards the start of the play Desdemona is presented as a very prized and desirable woman with her father, Brabantio, referring to her as “so tender, fair and happy” – the rule of three shown within the quote is used in emphasis of how appreciated and desirable she is seen as by her father. We also see the character of Cassio describe her as a “most exquisite lady” showing how high she is held by those she knows and that she, unlike other woman at the time is regarded for her character rather than her husband or role within society.
Even before we are introduced to the character of Desdemona we are told she is a very positive and independent lady which once again differentiates her from the stereotypes that would’ve surrounded the audience
